YOU helped make this possible! Last year, after we organized demonstrations against the airline at its offices around the world and purchased stock in the company with the intention of introducing a shareholder resolution this year, we encouraged our members and supporters to contact the company. Hundreds of thousands of you flooded United’s inboxes and Facebook wall with messages demanding that the airline stop profiting from cruelty to animals. One supporter even interrupted a United senior vice president at a trade conference, took over the microphone, and announced to attendees that United was the last U.S. airline that was still transporting primates to be abused and killed.

United’s new policy means that only four major international airlines remain in the world that are willing to shuttle primates off to years of torment in exchange for a few dollars in revenue. Let’s make that number zero. Please take a moment to tell Air France, China Eastern Airlines, Philippine Airlines, and Vietnam Airlines that you won’t be flying with them until primates don’t either.

really really sick and i feel very angry for someone to do that do a beautiful creature and leave them alone and they are not to be abuse or torture for stupid pointless experiment thats doesn’t work . This is very ugly side of the world and mankind . really a shame and how would someone like that do to a child . I wish someone would put these staff in these cages and treat the same way and i am sure its hell for them . …. try it to all people who abuse and hit those monkeys and they should be put in hell . we should show our kindness and speak for them . i couldn’t get out of my head when i see these video of the youngs ones hugging each other out of fear like human children , why can’t u all people see that ? … what the matter with u sick people .

It’s so sad that we are making these poor monkeys suffer and for what toxicity testing/efficacy for drugs and other medical substances that can vastly increase quality of life, studies of infectious disease, such as HIV and hepatitis that can save millions of people; neurological studies such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, studing key behavior and cognition, reproduction, genetics, and xenotransplantation for potential treatment for end-stage organ failure. Poor, poor monkeys we need to stop the scientists from murdering them in order to save millions of lives and help prevent death and disease for our babies and children in the future, they’re a bunch of selfish, war-mongering human mudpile.

When I feel sad about something I like to come to peta scour pages and cry so I realize that there are things alot worse going on in the world and it motivates me to push harder so that I can do what I feel what my life was meant for; to help animals.

You have to help stopping this cruelty immedetly! Its horryfing and doesnt belong in the year of 2013! This is a horryfing and so cruel. Stop this Please!!!! think about this poor animals and the suffering and pai they have to go true…please open your hearts..its another day for all of you in paradis…dont forget that

i got an email from peta a couple days ago urging to call (china eastern) airlines about them transporting primates on their planes..310-649-3994..well i just got off the phone with a guy who spoke with an accent that called himself”joe” and told me that china eastern stopped primate transport 2 years ago?..dont know if he was blowing smoke up my ass or not but again his name was joe @customer service..so i dont know

Please stop this horrific way of doing “business” These animals are scard and terrified and then uopn arrival are treated even worse. Why are human beigs so numb to the suffering and pain of other species on this planet. How can they sleep at night? Pleae help stop this!

Thank You United Airlines. Thankyou for showing the world that you care for the innocent & defenceless animals in the world. This is a New Eras we live in No need to inflict & Abuse such helpless animals for testing. Last month I avoided United Airlines when travelling to US. I am glad now I can go with this airlines. Please BE KIND TO ANIMALS. THEY ARE SENTIENT BEINGS & BELONG TO THIS MOTHER EARTH…THE SAME AS WE.

Is it really a victory if they barely or never shipped animals for this purpose already? When are you going to work on actual carriers that do the bulk of shipments to research facilities instead of these familiar companies that barely have anything to do with it? This thing is like saying “Victory! Hindus pledge not to eat beef.”

What about people dying from Aids everyday? If treatment are not tested on primates, we will continue to die from Aids. As laboratories which have enough funds are all located in North America or Europe, Africans will continue to die from Aids without animals testing (plus note that primates are also infected by HIV). Money is one thing. Mankind welfare is another.

Thank you so much for honouring truth, compassion and the way. Thank you for stopping the unaceptable cruelty and wickedness of this trade. Thank you for showing the higher human qualaties of compasssion to emotionally evolved animals that have all the same feelings and emotions as we do, animals who are Non Human Persons with feelings of Love and oneness with us! Thank you God for everything! and for this transformation of horrific human ignorance to people choosing to do the right thing! With deepest respect and gratitude, Kathryn

I am so so happy that we got victory in this matter I had many people I know send the emails to UA as well and it feels great having been a part of this and taking another measure to keep animals safe! It means alot.

Help tiger cubs forced to swim + used as selfie props. Tell Dade City’s Wild Things that cubs belong with their mothers!

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
